[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP.  Komen is a fairly inefficient non-profit that has signaled that, in addition to being inefficient, cares more about signaling support for right-wing social issues than it does making sure that poor women have access to health care.

[quote]In 2010, the last year for which Susan G. Komen for the Cure released an annual report, total gross revenue (all dollar values have been rounded to the nearest million; all percents to the nearest tenth) was $421 million.  They chose to spend those funds as follows:

Direct benefits to donors and sponsors – $20 million (4.8%)
Research – $75 million (17.8%)
Education – $141 million (33.5%)
Screening – $47 million (11.2%)
Treatment – $20 million (4.8%)
General administration – $41 million (9.7%)
Fundraising costs – $36 million (8.5%)
Change in net assets – $41 million (9.7%)

Or, stated a bit differently:

Running Susan G. Komen for the Cure – $97 million (23.0%)
Putting more money in Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s coffers – $41 million (9.7%)
Telling people about breast cancer – $141 million (33.5%)
Looking for breast cancer using proven methods – $47 million (11.2%)
Treating breast cancer using existing methods – $20 million (4.8%)
ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR “THE CURE” – $75 million (17.8%)[/quote]

Message received, and no hard feelings. I hope they're successful in their new incarnation as a right-wing organization.
